Short foreskins?

OK, silly question, I guess, but I'm wondering:
how common is it for an adult intact man to have a foreskin that doesn't cover all of the glans?

Very common. I had an ex BF that had a "short foreskin" Also, I've read that in older or foreign men it may be a "loose" or "incomplete" circ.

From what I've researched, a rough estimate would be that about 50% of intact men have a prepuce that covers the entire glans when flaccid, 25% have a prepuce that extends past the glans when flaccid, and another 25% of men with intact penises have a prepuce that covers a portion of their glans when flaccid.

Just want to point out that the head of the penis is the glans. Glands are other body parts.
